World Banks
We should start by explaining that a
bank is a financial institution which
servers as a financial intermediatery.
There are several types of bank, these
include savings bank, commercial bank,
central bank and investment bank. A
savings bank (Building Society in UK)
is similar to a savings and loan association.
Bank orginiates from several words
around the world, however it really
means bench or counter. Benches were
used as desks or exchange counters.
